Lorethal was an Elf warrior who created the Crimson Hunters, an order dedicated to defeating the Familiars, following their appearance in the time after the First Cataclysm. For twenty years, he commanded the greatest Elves of the age against the genocidal creatures wherever they appeared. Without fear, he led a daring assault into the heart of the enemy's lair, and crippled their strength before being slain in battle. His body was interred alongside those of the other Crimson Hunters, within a tomb in the Vai'lutra Forest.
